Who can get IV Sedation?

IV sedation is intended for patients who have a low pain threshold, may dislike needles in their mouth, have a strong gag reflex, have gums or teeth that are very sensitive to pain, are easily over-stimulated, have phobias or anxieties about dental treatment, had previous dental traumas, cannot keep their jaw open or have problems with their jaw.

Sleep dentistry is also ideal for patients who are going to have very complicated or lengthy surgical procedures.

How Does Sleep Dentistry Benefit Patients?

When you are asleep you are not aware of the stimuli that would otherwise make you anxious from memory of past trauma. It makes the procedure significantly more comfortable, and in some cases, can make it go faster. Its biggest benefit is that it enables people to get much-needed dental treatments that they may have avoided for reasons mentioned above.

What Can You Expect From The Procedure?

While you will be asleep for the procedure itself there will be some preparation to do beforehand. You will not be able to eat for at least six hours prior to the treatment, and you should not drink for at least two hours prior, to ensure that your stomach is completely empty.

Remember to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and we also recommend that you make arrangements for someone to drive you home afterwards.
